Latest news from the driving force in transport and logistics

What happens when innovation meets genuine creative drive? We tested the MAN eTGX on a real long-haul route: over 360 km between BMW Group plants in Regensburg and Leipzig — efficiently and with ease.

MAN eTGX from Elflein on the road for BMW intermediate plant transport

• The MAN eTGX can cover the 360 km route between the BMW Group plants in Regensburg and Leipzig without intermediate charging, with an average consumption of just 75 kWh per 100 km.
• Full electrification could save up to 3,000 tons of CO₂ per year.
• Elflein is steadily transitioning to emission-free transport solutions, including MAN eTrucks.
• The BMW Group´s technology-open approach is also reflected in its transport logistics.
• The ultra-low-liner variant is ideal for automotive logistics, offering an interior height of up to 3 meters.

This week marked an important milestone for sustainable logistics at ELFLEIN! With the official handover of the Mercedes-Benz eActros 300, we are entering a new era of CO₂-free transport at our Epfendorf site.

Decarbonization remains one of our top priorities. This morning, we took another important step toward sustainable logistics: Rüdiger Elflein personally collected two new MAN e-trucks directly from the factory in Munich.

Once again this year, ELFLEIN supported charitable organizations through its “Christmas Stars” campaign, donating a total of €15,000 to three non-profit organizations. In coordination with our customers and partners, the donation amount was divided among the selected organizations.

Mission accomplished: ELFLEIN has reduced its CO₂ emissions by an impressive 23% within just 12 months. With this achievement, ELFLEIN once again underlines its leading role in the logistics industry as a resource-efficient and sustainability-focused company. The reduction marks another important milestone in the company’s long-term sustainability strategy. The calculation is based on CO₂ emissions measured in kilograms per kilometer traveled.

This significant reduction is the result of a consistent commitment to sustainable and efficient logistics solutions. Key measures include investments in e-trucks, the continuous evaluation and implementation of alternative fuels, and increasingly efficient route and process planning. These achievements once again highlight ELFLEIN’s pioneering role in the transport and logistics sector and demonstrate that environmental responsibility and economic efficiency can go hand in hand.

For Rüdiger Elflein, resource efficiency has been a core part of the company’s DNA for decades: “The milestone we have achieved is further proof that sustainability is not an option, but a necessity.”

Last week, ELFLEIN received two special recognitions for its achievements in the logistics sector.

At the Porsche supplier awards ceremony, our company was honored with the “Best Performance FTL” award. This distinction recognizes our outstanding performance in the Full Truck Load (FTL) sector and once again confirms our high standards in efficiency, quality, and innovation.
